Life Is Short - Never Say Goodbye - Bond Challenge

Life is Short was developed over the period of a couple of weeks, originally as a small Particledots experiment that was located sonically somewhere in the region of Portishead's copy of Pet Sounds. Then Bud threw a slew of guitar tracks into the mix which moved it into another realm entirely. Finally, with James Bond fresh on his mind, Michael 2 added the icing on the cake with his sublimely wonderful vocal tones.

Bud is the guitar player
Michael 2 is the singer
Particledots played the part of Brian Eno

Life Is Short
Now wait a minute what a band line ...!?!??!?!
This is excellent ...you cant say anything but
WOW ...incredible guitar work ...and man .
Michael your voice just surprised me here ...
sure the touch of Bryn just so notisable ...
this is just cooool ...thnx alot for sharin !!!!!

at last
after all of the MJ growing pains, and the "what shall we post first?" emails: the Bond song see's the light of day. Bryn's sonic expertise really surprised me on this one. I have always been impressed, but you really can't overstate the man's skills. The man did like 13 re-mixes. If you guys like this one, check out my blog, where you can find another completely different mix.

Must agree with Michael
Brynn was the brains and motivation behind this track. He sent me a really comfy bed to play in and indulged multiple rounds of my guitar fantasies. When I heard Michael's amazing vocals I new we had a cool combination and thus APOD was born.
Many thanks to the Bond challenge and all it's talented contributors and gracious listeners.

Subtle and Mysterious
...one of the most fascinating takes on the Bond theme ideas; utterly entrancing and deeply textured with those dreamy, surreal drifts of sound. This sounds unexpectantly timeless, very much charting new territory in Bond theme ideas. If I were a movie producer............................... (sigh)

This was great fun to work on
And great to work with M2 and Bud on a focused project like this.

From the little particle experiment, thru the many layers of bud guitars to the great vocal that Michael did, it was quite the journey watching this evolve from version 1 (a track called '10 Questions') to versions 12 + 13.

Bryn's got the brains
M2 and Bud have the brawn, they should be making lots of money. This is very cool. You sound really different, Michael. This is stylish as hell and brings the requisite Bond sex appeal. Great sound bed.
